11. I'm a snob snob--for example, you are nowhere near snobbery yourself

In all seriousness, every time I accumulate some amount of knowledge that I think would make me somehow superior to someone else in any way, I immediately get hit with some event proving me wrong with heavy irony. So while I expend an awful lot of energy into some of my interests and hobbies, I don't develop a snob-sense so much any more, if that means believing oneself superior to others. I do look down on things that don't meet my tastes however--just never people.

The more prevalent North American breed is intellectual cultural snobbery. Of course, a lot of those North American snobs affect the culture and mannerisms of the English upper class. Not sure why they'd want to, but there you go.

As more and more people are exposed to more choices in music, art, food, goods, there is more of an upscaling vibe that is in place. There was an interesting article in the New Yorker? recently. No it was People Magazine.

though I can't help but feel superior to those who choose to ignore obvious truths in favor of superstition. Those who strike me as willfully ignorant stir the meanest and ungliest sort of snobbery in my otherwise tolerant, all-inclusive soul.
